Big question for you guys...I missed out on the Majora's Mask 3DS XL...someone has offered it for my new black one, my new Little Mac, and my new Villager...seems like an awful lot...what do you guys think?
 
You may be "Made a girl cry" one day!

NO! I'M STILL HOLDING UP HOPE FOR THOSE FIGMA PIT/DARK PIT RERELEASES! THEY'RE AT TOY FAIR, SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY BE REPRINTING THEM?!

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
I'll always be the Diggeh you guys know! Can you dig it?
As you've said,

You really can't put anyone with Villager. At least not in the US. He goes for close to double LM on eBay.

Eh, they are going for about the same price on ebay, if you don't consider the US versions. Which most here honestly wouldn't care about.

Also, Villager was made available, via amazon.de about 2-3 weeks ago or so. It's been much longer since Little Mac was available anywhere online.

I'd rank them the same considering worldwide availability. You can get villager much cheaper in Europe than Little Mac. If we're talking about US versions only, sure.
 
ack everyone is changing avatars I can't tell who is who now :(
I freakin' agree! Those pixel art Smash fighters are cool, but everyone keeps using them now. I just want some consistency in people avatars!

For what it's worth, mine will stay Mega Man's face, and that's that.

"But I'll give you a hundred doll-"

And THAT'S that.
 
Hi guys! How is everyone's Sunday? I had a pleasant surprise yesterday as a random Sonic figure was delivered to me from Walmart! I didn't even get shipping info and then BAM! Sonic was at my door.

...I feel like I should have eaten chili dogs today to celebrate. Props to anyone that gets that reference.
Gotta go fast and eat them chili dogs!
Chili dogs are delicious. You should not go fast, you should eat it slow and enjoy

But I have here 8 mega man amiibo...as well as four mega man mini-helmets, each with an Amiibo chip inserted into the base! How about then?

Ok ok, what is the avatar you most recognize me with? (Anyone can answer).
Also for the record my current Shulk is not from that artist :]

The thing about consoles is that their is always a more limited and more awesome just around the corner.

I recognize you most as Sad Majora XL, actually!

If we go by ebay prices, that's a deal. Those two amiibo, assuming in box US versions, are $160 or so...your 3ds is $200...and the Majora's Mask 3ds is currently going for well over $400. Question is, do you want the amiibo more or the fancy graphics?
 
That's waaay too much. The system and Little Mac or Villager should be enough, tbh

That's what I was thinking too...I don't know...I'd love the system...but it's functionally just the same as the black one...and I don't know if I'd like the gold in person anyways...thanks for the advice...
 
Lets get some high class trading going on in here then. I have a NA Little Mac, looking to trade for a Villager. If you have a villager, let's do this.

trade for peach? :P

I think i'd do it, if Marth is getting a reprint you can bet villager will when the next animal crossing game comes out, wont be the same package i guess but if you paid $13 each for those two its a steal tbh

ah if he wants cash too than forget it, he might ask for $200 + new 3ds xl + those amiibos 0_o

Turns out he wants cash as well...not sure how much yet...but if it's a lot he wants in addition...I think I'm going to keep my amiibos...
 
I made the mistake of challenging diggeh and am now being avatar punished.

Oh, hey, guess what? I paid for my villager and it's going to be mailed out this week! Going to start talking to him soon about costs for the custom. How is your project going?

I've seen it in person, and I have to say, it looks fantastic, but with the huge caveat that you like gold things. I'm not a fan of gold as a primary color on my system, but I can still appreciate how cool it looks.

Now if it were purple, aw man! But then, I'm still not even a huge purple fan, but it's better than gold.

Princess Elli: sure make me a pigeon amiibofied icon and I'm on it

I'm so sorry. I couldn't resist doing the doctor pigeon.
 
I have an extra Rosalina amiibo for trade but no one seems to want it. Hopefully I'll be able to snag an extra Ike, King Dedede, or Meta Knight on Friday for trade. Plus I'm gonna see if I can preorder a Shulk amiibo for May at my closest GameStop (doubtful though). Those seem to be sought more as a trade than Rosalina.
I'd make the trade with you if I understood how trading amiibos over gaf actually worked lol
"Yeah, do you need it? I'll sell it to you for 40 bucks if you want it"

WELL FUCK YOU TOO
What a prick! I would have literally said STFU

That's one hell of a deal. I'd say go for it!
 
Sadly, I still remember that guy from before asking about which amiibos to sell. Did he think he'd get good advice here?!

We all told him to stock up on rare Peaches and Zeldas. I really hope he did.

"HUR DUR GUYS I'M GOING TO SCALP SO WHICH ARE THE RARE ONES"

At least have the decency to keep your selling in the B/S/T thread.

I don't care for the MM N3DSXL as it is (hate that shade of gold), but if it looked like this...

...I would've been much more tempted to try and get one.
and I still would be bitter about no regular unit in NA.

Well, I'm still waiting for my 7 Japanese Mega Mans to come in the mail, which should hopefully start shipping this week. Once I get them, I already have a box packed up and ready to ship out to Saludos Amiibos for the price we discussed a few weeks ago. Wish I could be getting them sooner maaaaan...this wait is killin' me!

Make sure to get some pics posted here so wr can all see the results of your commission!

I agree. The pictures actually don't do it much justice. The gold on the console is very sheen and glossy and nice. Much better looking than I initially expected it to be

He wants cash as well...what's the cap that you would go for it?
How much does he want? That's tough. Evaluating the value of your amiibos is going to be hard to do with another offering party. He may try to make them seem not as valuable as they actually are. Adding cash to that further demonstrates that. Let him make the offer first. That will show you just how much he thinks they are worth. If he tries to make you pay a ridiculous amount than you know he'll be difficult to negotiate with

Yeah, I have to wait for my villager to arrive. It's being shipped from Germany this week, so it'll probably be March before I get it. :( I wonder if I can get a custom like box thing made so I can print it and do that lol I'm not so great with photoshop tho

Haha, seriously! If he was just a dude selling a spare or 2, that's one thing, but to actively seek out the rarest just to sell? Geez, man!

That would look so amazing. I'm sure someone out there could help you make that happen!
 
How much is shipping generally?
Are the charges worth the trade?

cost me about $3 or $4 i think since it weighs less than 13 ounces so i used usps first class mail , just put in a random amiibo size box and pack it safely and off it goes.

USA only though , thats my motto now . plus i printed the label off paypal, so i dont have to wait in line at the post office

Yep, sounds about the same for me, though I usually pay around $5 and change, printing my labels from home and using my own boxes/packing materials.
 
I posted earlier that I was trying to buy an Amiibo for a child, and someone suggested European websites. If I do go this route, is the packaging in English? Is there anything on the Amiibo itself that differentiates between the foreign country and English? Honestly, I'd rather pay a foreign big box store than scalpers or whatever you call people buying multiples for trading.

At this point you might as well import. The only difference is the multilingual packaging--amiibo are region free. The rarity mostly comes from US versions of characters.

No difference at all on the actual amiibo. The packaging is slightly different, but still reads in English primarily, with other languages as well. Definitely feel encouraged to import, especially if they're going to be opened.

The packaging is in English, but has other languages as well. Here's the differences (from the front). The middle one is EU.

The amiibos themselves are no different. They're exactly the same inside the packaging.
